This is a one-of-a-kind adventure that focuses on the famed Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Great Migration. You’ll spend at least four nights in the endless plains of Serengeti, with two nights in the Central Area (home to the park’s greatest concentration of big cats) and two nights in the Migration Area (depending on the season).
Feel the pulse of East Africa on this seven-day Serengeti safari, where each sunrise paints a new portrait of wilderness. You’ll chase tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara, watch dawn break over endless Serengeti plains for four nights, then peer down into the teeming caldera of Ngorongoro. This journey blends big-cat drama, sweeping vistas and close-up encounters with the elephants, giraffes and wildebeest that roam freely here.
Beyond just the great migration, you shall have endless encounters including all the Big 5 cats, culture, tree-climbing lions, small 5 and more. This is your adventure if you want to encounter the unrivaled, untamed and pure African experience.
After a morning briefing in Arusha, you drive west through patchwork farmland toward Lake Manyara. By mid-afternoon you’re threading between fever trees and papyrus mats, where rock-climbing lions lounge in branches above grazing impala. As the golden light fades, watch hippos wallow at the lake’s edge, their low grunts echoing across still water.

Enjoy Sunrise transfer game drive as you observe troops of baboons and flamingo-tinted enroute to Serengeti through the famous Ngorongoro.

Accommodation options (Serengeti):
Today you follow elephant herds through rolling grasslands and scan acacia ridges for cheetah splashes of speed. A riverside picnic beneath fever trees lets you soak in the vast silence. By late afternoon you find your way to kopjes where lions lounge, their cubs tumbling over tawny paws.
Meals: breakfast at camp; boxed lunch; dinner by campfire
Accommodation options (Serengeti):
Depart early morning heading onto the western plains to find thousands of wildebeest poised at the Mara River. You watch from the bank as they gather, hearts pounding, then follow their newly beaten trails into the grasslands beyond. Lunch overlooks hippos grunting in deep pools, and by late afternoon you’re weaving through the hooves churning the earth, before sleeping once more under those infinite Serengeti skies.
Meals: all meals.
Accommodation options (Serengeti):
This is yet another day to encounter the Wildebeests. At sunrise you trail the slow-moving columns as hyenas stir and lions slip in for scavenges. A riverside picnic greets you mid-morning, then you press south into quieter plains where black rhinos sometimes appear. As dusk falls, your campsite lanterns flicker to life and you drift to sleep lulled by distant calls of the wild.
Accommodation options (Serengeti):
After a final morning drive, you climb out of the Serengeti, retracing your route past Maasai herders. Stop at Olduvai Gorge to stand where our ancestors once walked, then descend the crater rim for a sunset glimpse into the world’s largest inactive caldera.
Meals: breakfast at camp; lunch picnic; dinner at lodge
Accommodation options (Ngorongoro):
At first light, you descend into the crater floor where dense herds of buffalo, zebra and elephant mingle with one another. You circle hippo pools and pause by a flamingo-pink soda lake, then climb back up for the return drive to Arusha. Your safari ends with a final cup of Tanzanian coffee—and memories that will call you back to these plains.
Meals: early breakfast; boxed lunch en route
